Rookwood pottery was founded in the
late 1870s in Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Adams The
earliest work is relief-worked on naturally-colored clay, in
pinks, greys and sage or olive greens. After this period
Rookwood developed a number of very common treatments: the
"standard glaze," a deep gold, red and orange over dark brown
fired in such a way as to effect a very high-gloss finish, often
in leaf or flower motifs. . The "matte glaze," a flat but
textured glaze developed by Artus Van Briggle, often painted on
soft colored clay, which used "sea green" for aquatic and floral
motifs. The "vellum" glaze, usually a matte light blue, put on
top of a very lightly-colored clay. This was most often used for
landscape
scenes.The manufacturer's presence has extended to vases, wall pockets, beer sets, beer
